Since the powder adheres to the raw metal, the metal surface needs to be clean and free of contaminants.

Although we always inspect the parts, for best results the metal should be free of:

Rust/Oxidation

Tape/Adhesives

Writing/Marker

Old Paint

Weld Slag

Carbon

Oil

Laser Scale

We can media blast buildup of most of the above contaminants. We also have several partners that offer chemical stripping and sandblasting in extreme cases.

A few advantages to using powder coating over other finishes:

More Durable Finish

Resistant to corrosion

Resistant to peeling

Resistant to cracking

Resistant to impact

More Attractive Finish

No drips

No runs

No sags

Wide selection of powders

Protects the Environment

No solvents

No hazardous waste

Requires less energy

More Economical

Less energy expenses

Less waste to dispose

Less manpower is needed

Less expenses means lower prices

What is powder coating and why do you need it?

Powder Coating in its simplest terms is a process in which powder is applied to metal and is heated until the powder hardens and forms a coating over the part. There are many more technical details involved-but the good news is all you need to know about powder coating is our location. ARROW TAKES CARE OF IT ALL.
